摘要:
When flights meet disaster in the mid-air, the cause of the mishap is unknown immediately. Teams are dispatched in difficult conditions to retrieve the flight data recorder (FDR) also known as black box. Until the black box is found, the exact cause of the crash cannot be determined. Sometimes it may take years to find the black box. For example, Air France flight 447 crashed into the Atlantic Ocean on Jun. 1, 2009. The cause of the accident remained unknown mainly because the black box was missing. It was found after almost two years in May 2011. The delay in finding the flight data creates risks for future flights if the crash occurred due to a manufacturing defect in the model of the plane. The ability to reach the data without the burden and need for a physical black box has obvious benefits. This idea has been discussed in the literature but no one has put forth a functional and effective method for the implementation of this concept, for example no one has determined an appropriate software scheme that would enable a universal system that doesn't need a black box or which can function in parallel with black box. In this project, a set of algorithms for reliable transmission of flight data in real-time to distributed ground servers is developed. The attached description presents an overall structure of the proposed scheme. We also describe the methods of communicating between at least one plane server, several data servers and at least one central server controlling various components of data transmission, and the algorithms that enable the communication of data. In addition, the proposed packet header formats, the packet type codes and fault tolerance features are described.
摘要:
A client application installed on end user computers generates metadata from the content of web pages visited by end users and provides the metadata to a search engine. When an end user visits a web page, the end user's computer downloads and displays the web page to the end user. The client application may simultaneously access the web page content and generate this metadata in the form of a content signature of the web page from the web page content. The client application then provides the content signature to a search engine. The search engine may employ content signatures to identify new web pages to crawl and index. Additionally, the search engine may employ content signatures to identify changes to web pages and determine the crawl frequency of web pages.
摘要:
A catalytically active component is provided which comprises particles containing a metal oxide such as silica, metal or metalloid ions such as ions that include boron, and a catalyst. When introduced into the membrane electrode assembly of a fuel cell, the particles increase peroxide radical resistance in a membrane electrode.
摘要:
A method and associated composition for chemical mechanical planarization of a chalcogenide-containing substrate (e.g., germanium/antimony/tellurium (GST)-containing substrate) are described. The composition and method afford low defect levels (e.g., scratches incurred during polishing) as well as low dishing and local erosion levels on the chalcogenide-containing substrate during CMP processing.
摘要:
A composition and an associated method for chemical mechanical planarization (or other polishing) are described. The composition includes a surface-modified abrasive modified with at least one stabilizer and at least one catalyst differing from the at least one stabilizer. The composition can further include a medium containing the abrasive and an oxidizing agent (e.g., hydrogen peroxide), wherein the at least one catalyst is adapted to catalyze oxidation of a substrate by the oxidizing agent. Preferably, the abrasive is alumina, titania, zirconia, germania, silica, ceria and/or mixtures thereof, the stabilizer is B, W and/or Al, and the catalyst is Cu, Fe, Mn, Ti, W and/or V. Both the stabilizer and the catalyst are immobilized on the abrasive surface. The method includes applying the composition to a substrate to be polished, such as substrates containing W, Cu and/or dielectrics.

A composition and associated methods for chemical mechanical planarization (or other polishing) are described. The composition may comprise an abrasive and a dispersed hybrid organic/inorganic particle. The composition may further comprise an alkyne compound. Two different methods for chemical mechanical planarization are disclosed. In one method (Method A), the CMP slurry composition employed in the method comprises comprise an abrasive and a dispersed hybrid organic/inorganic particle. In another method (Method B), the CMP slurry composition employed in the method comprises comprise an abrasive and an alkyne compound. The composition may further comprise an oxidizing agent in which case the composition is particularly useful in conjunction with the associated methods (A and B) for metal CMP applications (e.g., tungsten CMP).

An oriented polyester film coated on at least one surface with a coating that improves its adhesion to gelatin is disclosed. The dry coating contains one or more sulfopolyesters; one or more tetrablock copolymer resins; and one or more non-volatile polyamines. Other ingredients, such as particulate materials and surfactants, may be present in the coating. The coating is preferably applied at the interdraw stage.

A composition and associated method for chemical mechanical planarization (or other polishing) are described. The composition contains an abrasive, benzenesulfonic acid compound, a per-compound oxidizing agent, and water. The composition affords tunability of removal rates for metal, barrier layer materials, and dielectric layer materials in metal CMP processes. The composition is particularly useful in conjunction with the associated method for metal CMP applications (e.g., step 2 copper CMP processes).
